Spark Plug Rethreader?
Well one of my spark plugs blew out the other day and it messed up the threads where the spark plug screws in to...What type of rethreader should I use to fix this?
Thank You!

Helicoil is common, I had a spark plug do this a while back and I took it into a shop to have the job done for me. They put in a solid insert into my head, instead of a helicoil, and it works great. I just took the car to the track this weekend, and on top of that its been in there for a good three months no problems.

I know I saw helicoils and inserts at autozone a while back, so I think you can get them there. I am unsure of the specific size we need for the LSJ, but that could be a starting point (autozone, o'reilly, pep boys, etc)
